  • Patent number: 10971262
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for implementing a personalized training recommendation system. A request is received from a user to generate a personalized training regimen for a specified athletic event and event information is identified comprising characteristics of one or more geographical segments of the specified athletic event. Based on the event information, one or more portions of a geographical region are identified that approximate one or more characteristics of the one or more geographical segments within a predetermined tolerance. A training course is generated at least by combining a selected set of the portions of the geographical region based on an evaluation of a level of matching, for each portion, of characteristics of the portion to the one or more physical characteristics associated with the one or more geographical segments of the specified athletic event, which is then presented to the user as the personalized training regimen for the user.

  • Patent number: 10466696
    Abstract: Embodiments for managing drones by a processor are described. A drone is detected traveling toward a regulated space. During the detecting of the drone, the drone is being controlled by a first control system.

  • Patent number: 10417408
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for authenticating access to a user device using tactile-based feedback provided to a user of the device. A user device may include a display layer and a tactile layer. The user device may be configured to selectively activate portions of the tactile layer to cause opposing regions of a surface of the display layer to become raised relative to other regions of the display surface. A user may be required to specify a sequence of directional movements corresponding to a correct passcode pattern by traversing a path along the raised regions. The particular arrangement of raised regions may change each time access to the user device is requested by activating different portions of the tactile layer, thereby giving the appearance to a third party that a different passcode pattern is being entered each time, and thus, minimizing likelihood of unauthorized passcode detection.

  • Patent number: 10397171
    Abstract: Embodiments include methods, systems and computer program products for managing content disclosure on social networking sites. In some embodiments, labels associated with a social network connection of a user can be associated with the social network connection based on the reactions of the social network connection to different social network posts. Content from a user device associated with the user can be received. The content can be processed to identify content types to associate with the content. A recommendation can be generated to share or not share the content with the social network connection based on the reactions to content posted by the user. An indication from the user to share the content with the social network connection can be received. The content can be shared with the social network connection based on the indication.

  • Patent number: 10237699
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for performing automated operations in order to predict obstacles to mobile device travel paths. Historical mobile device path data about multiple historical paths previously taken by a plurality of mobile devices during a first period of time is tracked. Recent mobile device path data about a plurality of recent paths taken by multiple mobile devices during a second period of time is received and analyzed, including comparing the historical mobile device path data with the recent mobile device path data. Based at least in part on such analysis, a location is predicted for a new obstacle that is determined to be substantially adjacent to one or more of the recent paths. An indication of the predicted location of the new obstacle is provided to one or more user devices.
